Critics consensus

“Barbra Streisand takes on every conceivable role and acquits herself well in Yentl , a musical epic with a humdrum score that's given considerable lift from its writer-director-star's sheer force of will.”

Pauline Kael

RTThe New YorkerSep 11, 2023

Barbra Streisand’s Yentl is rhapsodic yet informal; it’s like a gently surprising turn of phrase.

RTLos Angeles TimesMay 12, 2023

Yentl is a debut that its exacting star can be justly pleased with.

R

Richard Corliss

RTTIME MagazineMay 12, 2023

[The musical score's] treacherous glissandi and searching wit find their ideal interpreter in Streisand's incredible Flexible Flyer of a voice. After two decades of hard work, that voice is still as smooth as mercury poured over dry ice.

RTCool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)Feb 13, 2024

A stunning film that explores gender roles and queer themes far ahead of its time, with Barbra giving what may well be the best performance in her unparalleled filmography.
